[Anjuta-list] Custom icons

[Fernando Apesteguía <fernando apesteguia gmail com>]

It appears to work now....

I explain the steps I followed:

I create a new clean Gnome Project by means of the app wizard. In this
wizard I set an application icon (I DIDN'T make this in my original ).
Due to this, Anjuta generates a Makefile.am inside pixmaps
subdirectory. Then I use Project->Add pixmap file to "copy" files
into Project structure. After make install everything goes well. Icons
are available.

I followed this steps in my original app. and now it works.

Thanks to all of you for your ideas!!

Best regards

You're using the C generated files, that include a function
add_pixmap_directory() that adds one directory to the pixmaps' search
path.

Try writting,
add_pixmap_directory(PACKAGE_DATA_DIR "/" PACKAGE "/pixmaps");

Then install your pixmaps in PACKAGE_DATA_DIR "/" PACKAGE and everything
should work - once the package is installed.

You may add to your top level 
Makefile.am something like:

install-data-local:
if test -d $(srcdir)/pixmaps; then \
  $(mkinstalldirs) $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdatadir)/pixmaps; \
  for pixmap in $(srcdir)/pixmaps/*; do \
    if test -f $$pixmap; then \
      $(INSTALL_DATA) $$pixmap $(DESTDIR)$(pkgdatadir)/pixmaps; \
    fi \
   done \
fi

dist-hook:
if test -d pixmaps; then \
  mkdir $(distdir)/pixmaps; \
  for pixmap in pixmaps/*; do \
    if test -f $$pixmap; then \
      cp -p $$pixmap $(distdir)/pixmaps; \
    fi \
  done \
fi

If you want to add the pixmap directory on the development directory, so
you don't need to install the pixmaps when testing, add it with
add_pixmap_directory as well.

add_pixmap_directory(PACKAGE_DATA_DIR "/" PACKAGE "/pixmaps");
add_pixmap_directory('/home/user/Project/project1/pixmaps/');

You can add as many as you want, but a better solution may be to try
gdk-pixbuf-csource and get rid of pixmap images.

Try `man gdk-pixbuf-csource`.
